History: Dhoruba was born into the long line of Leondas lions that had to fight it out to be leader, at the age of 4, he decided enough was enough and he killed his own father to take over the pride. Since then, he has exiled his brothers and started his own family of sons and many mates, most of them he forced into bearing heirs. Kujali being one of them.
He initially wanted to make Kujali his permanent mate, but knowing if he forced her into it his other females would leave. Mitifu who admired Dhoruba's strength and dominance and was jealous of the attention he gave Kujali, stepped forward and he accepted her instead.
